10 Photography Books to Improve your Photography

The kids are gone back to school and you have endless amounts of TIME. ( yeah right!) But anyhoo! But when you DO get time to curl up with a good book, why not curl up and learn at the same time? Today I’m going to share with your my 10 favorite photography books to improve your photography.

This book was the first book recommended to me when I first became interested in learning more about photography and learning the exposure triangle. It’s awesome.

2. The Photographer’s Eye By Michael Freeman After I learned exposure, learning about composition helped me improve my photos from snapshots to art. I can’t recommend this book enough for learning composition

I am sure you have heard of Annie Leibovitz and seen her work in Vanity Fair Magazine. I love this book because it not only tells how she got her start and her thoughts behind her photographs, but the photos are so beautiful.

Sometimes, A girl needs Photoshop. Or maybe you Like Photoshop. When i set out to learn Photoshop this year, this jumped out at me and even though I’m only halfway through, I can see my skills improving. Great for learning at your own pace.

This is my latest purchase. Put together by Sarah Wilkerson of Clickin Moms, this book is one of the best comprehensive books I’ve come across for beginning photographers. The photos alone are worth it, but the exercises and tips are awesome too.

So there you have it: 10 Photography Books to help you improve your photography this summer.

Now, find a chair, your shades and a great beach spot and learn!

Happy reading!

Oh my goodness – I’m reading this post at just the right time. I was just thinking I needed to check out some photography books. My pictures are ok, but I know they could be so much better. Thanks for the recommendations!

Thank you for your selection of very helpful photography books! I have a few of them already since I have my little own library of photography books. I love looking at them for reference! Thanks for sharing!

I could sit at a bookstore and look at photography books for hours. They are just so gorgeous. Now that my blog and Instagram accounts are becoming very successful, I am really interested in improving my photography skills. Will definitely look into some of these.

Thanks for the 10 photography books to improve your photography. I am going to order Beyond Snapshots: How To Take that Fancy DSLR Camera Off “Auto and Photography Your Life Like a Pro By Rachel Devine. Thanks for the tip of advice!

This is a great list of books to have for those who are interested to learn photography and its technicalities. In my personal experience though, it would be helpful to have online tutorials with existing sample files to start learning how to use Adobe Photoshop Lightroon. This software is really helpful and powerful for all photography enthusiasts.

I bought a nice camera a couple of years ago but till this day, have never really used it more than twice or three times. I look at pictures online and always get a little discouraged by my handy work but I never really thought about purchasing books to help me better the art of photography. All of these books like super handy and a great gift for my super talented photographer friends (or even a beginner like me) Thanks for the ideas.

Oh what a great find! I have been wanting some guidance on my photos. I probably should take a novice class to learn the ins and outs of photography, then these books would make a little more sense to me. I would be a lot of more productive when I take photos for sure.

I decided that photography is an art/skill I wanted to learn in 2015. So I purchased Understanding Exposure, The Adobe Photoshop CC Book for Digital Photographers, and Photoshop CC: The Missing Manual earlier this year.

At present, I am reading Adobe Lightroom CC by Scott Kelby and Tony Northrup’s DSLR book. Such great information and practical lessons. I am also a current member of KelbyOne and that helps a ton as well.
